Sussan Ley warns Liberals ‘disunity is death’ as speculation mounts Angus Taylor will launch leadership challenge

Sussan Ley cautioned Liberal party members that internal division would be detrimental, amidst growing speculation that Angus Taylor is preparing to challenge the current leadership. The warning occurred on Tuesday, following a closed-door meeting where Victorian backbencher Jane Hume pressed the opposition leader to detail plans for improving the party's position. While a spill motion against the opposition leader was considered unlikely due to the absence of senators attending estimates hearings, the possibility of a leadership challenge from Taylor remains a prominent topic within the Liberal party. The events highlight internal tensions and potential shifts in leadership within the Liberal party.
